Blueberry Overnight Oats

Blueberry Overnight Oats pack a huge berry punch of flavor in a filling, satisfying breakfast bowl. Nourishing ingredients like blueberries, flax and cashews will start your day off on the right foot.

If you ask me, there isn’t enough blue food.

Name that movie…and go!

I first got the idea to make these special Blueberry Overnight Oats from McKell’s blog, because I made her Mulberry Soaked Oat Porridge. They were so filling, delicious, nourishing and BLUE that I knew I had to make them over and over. Problem was, after foraging for mulberries at my father in law’s house…I really only had enough for two batches of oats! Those little suckers are hard to get when the branches are so high (and when your nearest known tree is 5 hrs away from where you live).

So, blueberries it was going to have to be!

I’ve made this bowl so many times and haven’t gotten sick of it yet! The splash of cinnamon and cardamom give this cold bowl of oats just the right warming spices. The cashews and flaxseeds add a boost of healthy fats to balance the whole bowl out. Plus, I added a large date to the mix, adding pure, natural sweetness so you don’t have to later (Unless you absolutely want to! Then go ahead and give it a drizzle of honey or maple in the end.).

Oh! One more thing! I do realize that it’s been awhile since I’ve posted an overnight oats recipe. And I realize that everyone LOVED them last time (yay yay yay!!), so I have a few in store for you! Let the breakfast bowl roll!

Blueberry Overnight Oats is a perfectly balanced, nourishing breakfast bowl. Antioxidant-rich blueberries collide with cashews, flaxseeds, and warming spices to start your day off on the right foot. (makes 1 bowl)

Oh! And thank you ALL for the love and support you poured all over us this weekend! We both really appreciate it! I won’t celebrate until it’s all final and my head is on a pillow in a room there, so hold on a tight second before you start sending extravagant housewarming gifts. I’ll let you know when the time is right, then you can send that new fridge right on over.

I juuuust started playing around with overnight oats and absolutely love them! Definitely going to need to try these out! And that little spoon in the pictures, where did you get that? It’s so adorable!Phi @ The Sweetphi Blog recently posted…Triple Chocolate Oreo Cookies

Gorgeous! I’m loving that little orange spoon too! I was so excited to come home with a big ol’ bowl of wild blackberries after visiting my parents a couple weeks ago. I probably “should’ve” been a good food blogger and prepped them for a recipe but I’ve been too busy just throwing a few in my mouth every time I open the fridge…yeah, after two weeks, they’re STILL good…though I think I have much time before they meet their last days. Then it will be onto the blueberries I picked up from the farmer’s market…with the notion of making a blueberry cobbler in my mind! We’ll seeeeeee!
